Servings 2 Glasses
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy alternative
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt optional for added creaminess and protein
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional for extra sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes optional, for a thicker smoothie

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Slice the bananas and set them aside. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can freeze the banana slices beforehand.

Blend:

  • In a blender, add the sliced bananas, peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. If you like your smoothie cold and thick, add a handful of ice cubes.

Blend Until Smooth:

  • Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Adjust Consistency:

  • If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Serve:

  • Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, chia seeds, or additional banana slices if desired.

Notes

Tips for the Perfect Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

  1. Use Frozen Bananas: For a thicker and creamier smoothie, use frozen banana slices instead of fresh. This also eliminates the need for ice cubes, which can dilute the flavor.
  2. Add Protein: Boost the protein content by adding a scoop of protein powder or extra Greek yogurt. This makes the smoothie more filling, perfect for a post-workout treat.
  3. Sweeten to Taste: Depending on the ripeness of your bananas, you may not need additional sweeteners. Taste the smoothie before adding honey or maple syrup, and adjust according to your preference.
